Alternate CPI Methodology

I worked with the Bureau of Labor Statistics to build an alterative stacking of Consumer Price Index (CPI) that removed many of the lagging effects. We annualized the 1mo inflation as opposed to YoY to avoid lapping effects, created more intuitive item-level strata clusters, and created price-stable 'targets' for each category to more intuitively and holistically assess which categories were at or above historically price-stable levels.
